Product • By Abodo • Vulcan Shingles
Vulcan Shingles
Wood products play a significant role in the circular economy. The circular economy is an economic model that aims to minimise waste and maximise the use of resources. At Abodo we have created a product from defective, re-worked thermally modified FSC®-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) New Zealand Radiata Pine in the form of our Vulcan Shingles.
The journey begins by taking cladding and screening offcuts from the production process, transforming what would have been discarded material into a valuable resource. These offcuts are carefully trimmed to a uniform 450mm length, ensuring efficient utilisation and reducing unnecessary waste. To achieve the desired width, the short-length pieces undergo an edge-ripping... More
